A summer tai chi retreat offers something for beginners and advanced students alike. Beginners come to learn the tai chi form and simple energy-generating qigong exercises. Intermediate and advanced students further their studies of the tai chi form, sensing hands, and sword. And Tai Chi Foundation-trained apprentice teachers refine their teaching. The goal of our summer training is to give all participants a calm, grounded, whole-body awareness characterized by the experience of deep release and softening, a renewed connection to oneself and to others, and increased comfort and ease that permeate the body, heart, and mind. Lots of laughter punctuate our days together -- this is a profound study that doesn’t take itself too seriously. We like to have fun! A typical day at camp will include a full schedule of classes between breakfast and lunchtime, including sessions for all participants to join in together, specific-level classes, as well as a meditation session for all, and teaching apprenticeships for those who need them. Classes will be taught by senior teachers with decades of teaching experience. A leisurely lunch hour-plus will be followed by a lighter afternoon schedule with time for rest and recreation before dinner. Evening events will include music, and health and tai chi-related topics.
